  • "The cottage though small is perfectly formed and seems spacious."

    All the little touches make it a wonderful place to stay. We loved the garden as did the dog and it was so quiet. Everything was high quality and very well thought out. We will definitely be back

  • "Beautifully appointed house with everything you could possibly need."

    Fantastic finishes in every room and the outside areas lovely. Great for a rainy day with covered area outside. Cooking facilities and kitchen equipment far better than usual in a holiday home. Facilities for dogs perfect, hooks, bowl, shower hose outside, dog waste bin. Large living and dining space great for entertaining. A short walk from pubs, shop and beach.

    Has the benefit of off street parking in an area where parking spaces are a premium. Very well equipped and spotlessly clean.
